Dytiscus marginalis<\/em>, commonly known as the great diving beetle, features a striking yellow margin around the pronotum and along the length of the elytra (Schaefer 2018). These beetles can reach a body length of up to 3 cm. The larvae possess spear-like mouthparts and live in water, while pupation occurs in the soil on land. The adult beetles have paddle-like hind legs, enabling them to swim swiftly and skillfully. They carry an air supply under their elytra to breathe underwater (Petrischak 2015).<\/p>\n

Diet:<\/strong> Both adult beetles of the species Dytiscus marginalis<\/em> and their larvae are predatory. They feed on other insects, tadpoles, small fish, as well as snails and worms (Petrischak 2015).<\/p>\n

Conservation status:<\/strong> The great diving beetle is listed as “least concern” in the Red List of Threatened Species in Germany and currently does not have any special protection status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/section>\n \n\n
